Auto Switches Precautions Design / Selection Warning 1. Confirm the specifications. If the product is used with excess load applied or beyond the specification range, this may cause the product to break or malfunction. We do not guarantee against any damage if the product is used outside of the specification range.
Page 13
4. Take precautions when multiple rotary actuator are used close together. When multiple auto switch rotary actuator are used in close proximity, magnetic field interference may cause the auto switches to malfunction. Maintain a minimum separation of 40mm between rotary actuator.
Page 14
Mounting / Adjustment Caution 1. Do not drop or bump. Do not drop, bump or apply excessive impacts (300m/s or more for reed auto switches and 1000m/s more for solid state auto switches) while handling. Although the body of the auto switch may not be damaged, the inside of the auto switch could be damaged and cause malfunction.

beforehand and make sure to connect the terminal with a built-in load (IN, etc.) to the 0 V terminal. (Do not connect the power supply terminal and the ground terminal directly when in a non-load state.) 5. Do not allow short-circuit of loads. <Reed>...
Page 16
5. Do not use in an environment where there is excessive impact shock. <Reed> When excessive impact (300m/s or more) is applied to a reed auto switch during operation, the contacts will malfunction and generate or cut off a signal momentarily (1ms or less). If further excessive impact is applied, the reed auto switch may break.

Maintenance Warning Removal of equipment, and supply/exhaust of compressed air. Before any machinery or equipment is removed, first ensure that the appropriate measures are in place to prevent workpieces from dropping, run-away equipment, etc. Then, cut off the electric power and reduce the pressure in the system to zero.

3. Basic circuit Circuit Configuration The standard circuit for operating a rotary actuator with an air filter, regulator, solenoid valve and speed controller is shown in Figure. 1 below. Regulator Air filter mist Rotary Speed separator actuator controller Solenoid valve Figure 1 Recommended models Recommended models for the standard circuit in Fig.
4. Mounting Caution Air Supply (1) The air supplied to the rotary actuator shall be filtered by an SMC air filter and regulated to the specified set pressure by an SMC AR series regulator. (2) This is a non-lube type actuator. Never supply lubricant oil. (3) If lubricant is supplied to the actuator, the grease inside the actuator will be washed away, and this may cause operation failure.
Warning Shaft Load Limit (1) Although static loads shown in Table 2 are allowable, avoid applying load directly to the shaft. Table 2 Allowable Shaft Load Unit: N Load direction Model 14.7 CRB210 14.7 CRB215 19.6 24.5 CRB220 24.5 29.4 CRB230 CRB240 Note) Application point of force "Fr"...
Warning Operating environment Do not use in environments where there is a danger of corrosion. Refer to "Internal Construction and Components" on pages 20 for materials used for the rotary actuator. Never use this product in dusty locations or where water, oil, etc., splash on the equipment. Model Screw L dimension...
5. Setting of Rotation Time Even if the torque - required by the load in the rotation movement is small, the shaft and/or internal parts could become damaged depending on the inertia of the load. Therefore, select an appropriate model for your application by taking the load’s moment of inertia, kinetic energy, and rotation time into consideration.
Page 29
(3) Moment of inertia of each style can be found with the calculation formula shown below. How to read Graph 1 Example 1. When CRB220 is used under conditions of moment of inertia of a load of 3.5x10-⁵kgm and rotation time of 0.12 seconds to move 90 degrees; Since the intersection of 3.5 x 10-5kgm on the vertical axis and 0.12 seconds on the horizontal axis is below the energy curve, CRB220 can be used.
Kinetic energy Allowable kinetic energy of CRB2 series is shown in Table 3. Table 3 Unit (J) With rubber cushion Without rubber cushion Model Single vane Double vane Single vane Double vane ― 0.00015 0.0003 CRB210 0.001 0.0012 0.00025 0.00027 CRB215 0.003 0.0033...
External stopper If the kinetic energy - generated by the load exceeds the actuator’s threshold value, an external dampening function must be provided to absorb the energy. The figure below shows the correct installation of external stopper. As a rotary actuator itself has a slight angular error due to the construction, use an external stopper when accurate positioning is required.
6. Maintenance and Inspection Single vane type (CRB210, 15, 20, 30) 90S, 90SE 180S, 180SE 270S, 270SE ● Be sure to install an air filter to clean the supply air. ● Do not disassemble the actuator. When disassembling it for an unavoidable reason, follow the procedures below, and prevent dust and/or foreign matter from entering the product.
Single vane type (CRB240) 90S, 90SE 180S, 180SE 270S, 270SE ● Be sure to install an air filter to clean the supply air. ● Do not disassemble the actuator. When disassembling it for an unavoidable reason, follow the procedures below, and prevent dust and/or foreign matter from entering the product. (As operation failure is caused by an increase in the internal leakage in most of the cases, the speed controller needs to be readjusted.
